Sadly, its time to sell our pair of red golden pheasants.
the male was born on June 20th, 2013, and was handraised. He was raised with an old english pullet and two silkie mix cockerels. He hasnt been with chickens for about a year. The female is not realted and olf enough to lay eggs. All eggs have been fertile. Laying season is ovrr for the year.
the male is almost in full color and will be by his second birthday.
they live in a small pen and we got eggs from a friend so we didnt know how much room they needed. We feel that they need a better place to live. They like game crumbles the best and watermelon as a treat. The male is holdable, but dont trust him.
Our pheasant pen is acessed inside of our chicken run to prevent their escape. The last hen we had escaped and was unable to be retrieved. We are looking for a decent price because they are a breeding pair and the male is friendly. Yet, the price is TBD
we want them to go to good forever home that can offer them better living. Please note that they need at least a ten by ten RUN. This is to prevent their beautiful feathers from breaking. We were unable to offer this. Please note they are very hardy and very easily survive the winter. Though, precautions should be taken in extreme or moderate weather. Though, like all birds, should be shielded from the wind by walls or solid windows. . They only eat about a cup of food a day for both.
If you are interested, I will keep you in mind. They must be sold together.
